By tapping into different disciplines and historiographical traditions, this volume provides a series of syntheses and thorough thematic analyses which enable to contextualize the peculiar case of the bishopric of Bobbio, established in 1014 in the Piacentine Appennine as an offshoot of the well-known monastery of Saint Columbanus. The mass of documentary sources available thanks to the recent reordering of the diocesan achives, which has also allowed to reconstruct the library of the cathedral, has required a general presentation and a specific attention to the foundation acts of the new institution. The detailed study of the historical context within which the subsequent events involving the diocese unraveled has been conducted in relation to the monastery and a selection of nearby cities. In-depth analyses of the territorial organization, from the civil, religious and charitable perspectives, are counterbalanced by analyses of the settlement dynamics of Bobbio and the structural developments of the church and the episcopal complex.

Abstract

By tapping into different disciplines and historiographical traditions, this volume provides a series of syntheses and thorough thematic analyses which enable to contextualize the peculiar case of the bishopric of Bobbio, established in 1014 in the Piacentine Appennine as an offshoot of the well-known monastery of Saint Columbanus. The mass of documentary sources available thanks to the recent reordering of the diocesan achives, which has also allowed to reconstruct the library of the cathedral, has required a general presentation and a specific attention to the foundation acts of the new institution. The detailed study of the historical context within which the subsequent events involving the diocese unraveled has been conducted in relation to the monastery and a selection of nearby cities. In-depth analyses of the territorial organization, from the civil, religious and charitable perspectives, are counterbalanced by analyses of the settlement dynamics of Bobbio and the structural developments of the church and the episcopal complex.
